Primates, painted with the same attention usually reserved for human portraits. Evolution I rests its chin on its hand—a gesture we instinctively read as contemplation. The title is not ironic. The series examines where Homo sapiens ends and begins: at the opposable thumb, at language, at empathy? Or at the willingness to look another species in the eye and recognize a relative?
